Why a commis chef stays essential in the age of AI
- A kitchen in service is heat, noise and twelve orders at once, and nothing about it can be done remotely.
- Tasting a sauce, judging a cut and feeling when a steak is done are skills in the hands and the mouth.
- A brigade runs on trust between people who sweat side by side, every night.
